EMINEM TO RELEASE HIS MEMOIR, 'EMINEM: THE WAY I AM' THIS YEAR.

Rapper Eminem has started work on his memoirs, which will be published later this year. Eminem: The Way I Am will feature unseen photographs of the Lose Yourself hitmaker as well as journal notes, hand-drawn art and lyric sketches as well as a narrative and introduction written by the star himself. The memoir, published by Orion Books, is set to hit shelves on October 16, 2008. And Ian Preece, of Orion, insists the memoirs will reveal the truth about the rapper. He says, "Everyone has their own take on Eminem. Because of where he is from, people think they know where he is at, what kind of person he really is. This book cuts through all that and gets to the source. It has an edge. It'll be one of the books of the year."

In other Eminem news, the rapper is denying reports claiming he is set to join the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as a pro-wrestler. The Slim Shady hitmaker - real name Marshall Mathers III - was rumored to be training for the WWE and was reportedly four months away from making his debut on the wrestling circuit. But the star's publicist has refuted the claims, telling CelebrityTruth.com, "Eminem has no interest whatsoever in becoming a wrestler. This 'source' is making stuff up."
